Anti-Piracy

Types of Piracy

Types of Piracy

There Are Five Main Types of Software Piracy

Counterfeiting

This type of piracy is the illegal duplication, distribution, or sale of copyrighted material with the intent of imitating the copyrighted product. In the case of packaged software, it is common to find counterfeit copies of the compact discs incorporating the software programs, as well as related packaging, manuals, license agreements, labels, registration cards, and security features.

Internet Piracy

This occurs when unauthorized software is downloaded from the Internet. The same purchasing rules apply to on-line software purchases as for those bought in compact disc format. Common Internet piracy techniques are:

Websites that make software available for free download or in exchange for others

This occurs when an individual reproduces copies of software without authorization. These include:

Using one licensed copy to install a program on multiple computers

Copying discs for installation or distribution

Taking advantage of upgrade offers without having a legal copy of the version to be upgraded

Acquiring academic or other restricted or non-retail software without a proper license

Swapping discs in or outside the workplace

Client-Server Overuse

This type of piracy occurs when too many users on a network are using a central copy of a program at the same time. If you have a local-area network and install programs on the server for several people to use, you have to be sure your license entitles you to do so. If you have more users than allowed by the license, that's "overuse".

Hard-Disk Loading

This occurs when a business sells new computers with illegal copies of software loaded onto the hard disks to make the purchase of the machines more attractive.
